★ Flip Knife | Doppler Phase 1 (Factory New)

The ★ Flip Knife | Doppler Phase 1 (Factory New) is a Covert ★ knife finish, a black base marbled with pink and a sliver of blue. Factory New is the lowest-float, crispest grade available, and here that marbling shows at its sharpest.

Design

Phase 1 runs a dark, near-black base marbled with streaks of pink and just a sliver of blue worked in, giving it a more muted look than the pure-color gem phases. It carries the flavor line "Getting lost in its color can prove fatal," a nod to how the marbling draws the eye in.

★ Flip Knife | Doppler Phase 1 (Factory New) Float and Wear

Doppler Phase 1 is float-capped between 0.00 and 0.08, so only Factory New and Minimal Wear exist for this phase — it never wears past a near-mint look regardless of copy. At Factory New the blade sits at the very bottom of that range, keeping the pink and blue marbling as crisp as this finish gets. Factory New covers about 0.00–0.07 on the float scale.

Flip Knife | Doppler Phase 1 Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — this is the gold-tier rare special, the "knife" slot that outranks every regular weapon grade pulled from the same case, not a standard Covert skin. Getting one at all is the hard part, long before wear comes into play.

Flip Knife | Doppler Phase 1 Case and Collection

This phase isn't locked to a single collection — it comes from the Chroma Case, the Chroma 2 Case, and the Chroma 3 Case alike. The rare-special ("knife") tier as a whole lands around 0.26% per case opening, so most buyers pick theirs up on the market rather than chase that pull across three cases.

Flip Knife | Doppler Phase 1 Doppler Phases

Doppler splits into several phases, and this copy has landed as Phase 1. The gem phases — Ruby, Sapphire, and Black Pearl — sit above the numbered Phase 1-4 finishes in rarity and price, and among the numbered phases buyers tend to favor the most saturated ones, like the pink Phase 2 or the blue Phase 4, over Phase 1's more muted marbling. Which phase a copy becomes is fixed the moment it's generated and never changes as it wears.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version of this knife exists and tracks confirmed kills permanently, carrying that count through any trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version at all — knives are never included in Major-tournament souvenir packages, regardless of case or phase.

Flip Knife | Doppler Phase 1 Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Phase 1 price ladder, ahead of Minimal Wear, and lands in high-end territory on a thin market, priced alongside this knife's rarer finishes. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What case is the Flip Knife Doppler Phase 1 in?

It isn't tied to one box — Doppler Phase 1 drops from the Chroma Case, the Chroma 2 Case, and the Chroma 3 Case. That spread across three cases is a big part of why most buyers pick one up on the market rather than unboxing for it.

Is Phase 1 the best Doppler phase to get?

Not quite — the gem phases (Ruby, Sapphire, Black Pearl) outrank the numbered phases in both rarity and price, and among the numbered phases buyers tend to prefer the more saturated Phase 2 or Phase 4 over Phase 1's more muted pink-and-blue marbling. It's still a legitimate Doppler pull, just not the headline phase.

Does the Flip Knife Doppler Phase 1 have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists with a permanent confirmed-kill counter that follows the knife through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir version, though — knives simply aren't part of Major-tournament souvenir packages, no matter the phase or case.
